HLM Takaful i-Care Al-Amin

Introduction

Introducing HLM Takaful i-Care Al-Amin – a regular contribution investment-linked plan that is designed smartly with the sole intention of helping you plan for your child’s education. It offers complete protection, even before birth, and at the same time builds an education fund that will meet key educational milestones. Why not start now?

This investment-linked takaful certificate ("ILT") offers combination of takaful protection and investment. It pays lump sum death benefit (i.e. the Sum Covered) if you die / or totally and permanently disabled during the term of the certificate and the value of the investment units, at the time of claim.

The value of the ILT depends on the price of the underlying units, which in turn depends on the performance of your chosen fund.

What are the Shariah concepts applicable?

Tabarru' - a certain portion of the Contribution that the Participant agrees to donate upon occurrence of events approved by Shariah Committee of the Operator, thus enabling him to fulfil his obligation of mutual help and joint guarantee should any of his fellow Participants suffer a defined loss where his donation is meant to help others and others’ donations are meant to help him.

Iltizam bi Al-Tabarru' - commitment to make Tabarru'.

Wakalah - essentially an agent-principal relationship, where the Operator acts as an agent on behalf of the Participants to manage the Participant’s Risk Fund (“PRF”) and Partipant’s Investment Accoutt “PIA” on the Participants’ behalf and the Operator earns Wakalah Fee for services rendered.

Wakalah Bi Al-Istithmar - agency contract for an investment activity whereby the Operator acts as an agent (wakil) to the Participants to invest their Contributions accordingly. The Operator will not be entitled to any profit or bearing any loss. However, the Operator is entitled to be remunerated based on the fixed percentages of Account Value, as per the rates set out as Fund Management Fee(s) in the Schedule, for managing the fund(s).

Ju’alah - an agreement in which the Participant promises to reward the Operator for its achievement or good performance in managing the PRF that leads to surplus to the PRF.

What are the covers / benefits provided under i-Care Al-Amin?

In the event of death or total and permanent disability (TPD) of the Person Covered during the term

of the certificate, basic sum covered plus account value will be payable.

Is there any optional riders attachable to this plan?

Yes, currently there are 4 riders available to be attached to i-Care Al-Amin as below:

Payor Care or Top-up Care Rider - Secure your child’s education even if you die or suffer TPD. This would ensure that the future contributions of your certificate would be paid until expiry of this rider.

Hospital Income Benefit 2 Rider - In the event that your child is hospitalised, the rider will provide daily income during hospitalisation.

How much contribution do I have to pay?

The total contribution that you have to pay may vary depending on the sum covered multiple and underwriting requirements of the Operator.

The Operator allocates a portion of the contribution to purchase units in the investment-linked fund that you have chosen. Any unallocated amount will be used to pay wakalah fees, which include commissions to agents and other expenses of the Operator. You are advised to refer to the allocation rates given in the benefit illustration.

For unborn child application, you are required to pay additional RM 500 of single contribution for Baby Care Rider. The contribution after deducting Wakalah Fee will be channelled into PRF.

What are the fees that I have to pay?

The tabarru' charges are deducted monthly from the value of your units. The tabarru' charges will increase as you grow older. Details of tabarru' charges and other charges for the ILT are given in the benefit illustration.

The tabarru' charges are not guaranteed. The Operator reserves the right to vary the tabarru' charges by giving 3 months prior notice. Please note that past trends of increases in tabarru' charge do not necessarily reflect the future trend.

The Wakalah Fee is an upfront charge on the contribution paid and is used to meet takaful operator's expenses and direct distribution cost, including commissions payable to the agency.

Other charges information are as follows:
